4.2 Control and Signal Wiring
4.3 Meeting Encoder Specifications
GV6000 AC drives can utilize an encoder for closed loop operation. Encoder
specifications are provided in table A.6. Drives set up for V/Hz or SVC regulation can
utilize an encoder for closed loop speed regulation, but it is not required.
!
ATTENTION: Verify the voltage rating of the I/O Interface board before
wiring any user devices. Failure to observe this precaution could result
in damage to, or destruction of, the equipment.
